Allowance for polling personnel in West Bengal Assembly elections 2021
This time the allowance of polling personnel is not increasing in the assembly election. During the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the presiding officers had an allowance of Rs 350 per day and the polling officers Rs 250 per day. That allowance is in this assembly election. However, this time Rs 170 will be paid for the cost of food on the day of polling. It is Rs 20 more than before. Polling personnel are naturally upset as the allowance has not been increased. Currently the market price of everything has gone up.
The Election Commission has issued a notification regarding the allowance. It has been reported that the polling personnel will get the same rate for the three-day training. There will be two days' allowance for polling. polling personnel will receive money for the day before the vote. A total of five days' money goes to the employee's bank account. Money for food is also sent to the account. In addition, the presiding officer gets Rs 300 for emergency expenses at the booth.
The Presiding Officer will be paid an additional Rs 50 for the cost of the mobile recharge. These two costs have been kept the same this time.
